Things that deal with severe depression, hopelessness, lack of opportunity, lost opportunities, change, abuse, sadness, disability and poor health, loneliness, and envy. Basically anything that doesn't rely on a belief in a "god" to make someone feel better. When I did a search I was mostly given "trust God" type spiels, which won't help.

The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil chorus on every man’s door, and then lays for the owner around the corner with a club. The world is in sore need of men who can do things. Indeed, cases can easily be recalled by every one where Opportunity actually smashed in the door and collared her candidate and dragged him forth to success. These cases are exceptional, usually you have to meet Opportunity half-way. But the only place where you can get away from Opportunity is to lie down and die. Opportunity does not trouble dead men, or dead ones who flatter themselves that they are alive.
Author: Elbert Hubbard
“Trying is the first step to failure”
-Homer Simpson
“Sometimes I think the surest sign of Intelligent life is that it hasn’t tried to contact us.”
-Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes)
The opposite of fear is not courage. The opposite of fear is hope.
The key to change… is to let go of fear.
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
Sometimes it’s the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn’t one I’ll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it’s worth it.
There is no lasting hope in violence, only temporary relief from hopelessness.
Everyone has a right to make mistakes, but you are abusing the privilege
Loneliness is about the scariest thing there is.
We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
You can’t be envious and happy at the same time.
Envy shoots at others and wounds itself.
